An appeals court judge on Monday lifted a lower court order preventing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from ending federal temporary protected status (TPS) for Afghans and Cameroonians in the United States.

The DHS in April moved to end TPS for individuals from Afghanistan and Cameroon, saying conditions in their respective countries no longer merited the protected status.
